    Monty Python And The Holy Grail Comparison

    In the book, King Arthur is like a Godly figure. He is portrayed as the best king in the world, who everyone knows and respects. In the book he and the Knights of the Round Table in the book are considered the best of the best. For example, we can see that when King Arthur pulls out the sword from the stone that no one could to get, everyone views King Arthur as a God. However, in contrast, the movie shows that King Arthur does not get as much respect as he should have. For example, when King Arthur passes by Dennis the peasant, the peasant talks to him in a very rude manner. When King Arthur orders him to be quiet, the peasant doesn’t listen; he just keeps on saying bad things about him. Also, the knights in this movie show us that they are not very bright. For example, when they try to go in the French castle they use the “Trojan Horse” plan by building a wooden rabbit. However, they forget to hide some of the knights in the wooden rabbit first before they send it into the castle. According to Malory, all of the knights should be brave, but in this movie we can see that Sir Robin, one of the Knights of the Round Table, is a coward because he runs away from a…

    Queen Elizabeth I Research Paper

    Queen Elizabeth I, also known as “The Virgin Queen,” was one of the most famous monarchs of all time and her reign was called The Golden Age. Born Elizabeth Tudor, September 7, 1533 in Greenwich, England to King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Her birth was quite a disappointment to the king because he was hoping for a male heir.1 At the time, King Henry VIII was still married to Queen Katherine of Aragon and wanted a divorce from her so that he could marry Elizabeth’s mother Anne Boleyn. It was not too long before King Henry VIII rectified this by going before the Pope and requesting an annulment from Queen Katherine. It was at that time, Elizabeth’s half-sister Mary, the daughter of King Henry VIII and Queen Katherine of Aragon, was named illegitimate. Elizabeth’s mother, Queen Anne, was unable to provide a son to the king and was executed for supposed adultery, when Elizabeth was only two years old. Shortly after her mother’s death, Elizabeth was declared illegitimate and her place in the line of succession was taken away, her reputation was tarnished because of her mother’s speculated infidelity and other scandalous matters. After her mother’s death, Elizabeth had many stepmothers throughout her childhood, Jane Seymour died giving birth to the King’s only son, Prince Edward; Anne of Cleves whom King Henry VII divorced; Catherine Howard was beheaded; and finally Katherine Parr, who was the only wife of King Henry VII to outlive him.…

    Synthesis Essay: Arthurian Legends

    Goodrich also writes in regards to Lancelot saving Guinevere from her abductor. The mentioning of Guinevere’s abduction resonates with the audience, because of the increase in abductions in the 1900’s. This also describes a part of Guinevere’s life that is not normally mentioned in other accounts of her legend. Goodrich uses the following phrase, “Every account of the abduction concurs that the island is of glass, looks like glass, gleams like glass, and/or has on its crystal mountain”(Goodrich 149). This quote describes Guinevere’s abduction, which would later lead to Lancelot saving her. Goodrich also describes Guinevere’s loss of love towards King Arthur and her new love for Lancelot, her knight in shining armour. The author goes on to portray Guinevere’s character in her story; “Queen Guinevere was no lovesick married women in search of titillation, like the usual adherents of courtly love”(Goodrich page 144). This quote exemplifies Guinevere’s hatred towards King Arthur, which could be a reason for which she was victimized, and…

    Lord Capulet

    At first, he seems like a pretty good dad. When Paris comes sniffing around for thirteen-year-old Juliet's hand in marriage, Capulet puts him of, citing Juliet's young age and even suggesting that he'd like his daughter to marry for "love" (1.2.2-3). This, by the way, is pretty uncommon in Shakespeare's plays. Most fathers (like Baptista Minola in The Taming of the Shrew) broker marriages like business deals, without ever consulting their daughters.…

    The Knight of the Cart (Lancelot)

    Lancelot is portrayed mostly as a love-struck man and not a very logical knight. From the first moment he is introduced, he is seen as someone sick from love. He will do anything to save his love, Gweneviere; even if that meant dishonor. When Lancelot rode on the cart, he was immediately labeled as someone bad. He pushed aside reason for love. "Because love ordered it, and wished it, he jumped in; since Love ruled his action, the disgrace did not matter." (212) There seemed to have been nothing that could stand in the path of Lancelot.…

    Lady Macbeth

    Lady Macbeth loses her sanity totally by act 5. Her insanity is foregrounded in the first scene of the act in Macbeth.The gentlewoman serving Lady Macbeth feels simultaneously sympathy and a sense of bitterness to such heinous path Lady Macbeth along with Macbeth chose to achieve success. In act 5, scene 1 of Macbeth, it is presented that Lady Macbeth has lost her senses, and suffers from sleepwalking. She seems to have also a mania regarding her feeling of having blood in her hands. In the beginning of the scene, it is evident through the conversations between the doctor and the maid that she is going through an intricate problem. As the actions proceed, it is clear that she does walk in sleep frequently. Not only that, she has lost senses and has been a sort of maniac since she tries to wash her hands rubbing them as if there was blood there. She has a psychological illusion that the blood of King Duncan is stuck to her hands. Her inner guilt and constant trepidation result in insanity. Because it is she who is the closest observer, confidante, and to many extents, a partner of the brutal tyrant Macbeth in his monstrous crimes. She has instigated him and knows what dreadful deeds Macbeth has done by now. And she also knows it well that: "What's done cannot be undone". In fact, now, there is an indication that she seems to find her surroundings a hell which is a dark place. Probably that is why she keeps "light by her continually".Her abrupt speech like: "who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him" or "All the perfumes of Arabia couldn't make my little hand smell better" is not only meaningless lunatic utterance; rather, the feeling of her that the blood is irremovable and her constant rubbing to wash it away, are the symbolic expressions of her continuous mental agony and sense of guilt.…
